I am very pleased to announce that a show I created called "Winston Steinburger and Sir Dudley Ding Dong" has been officially green lit for production with
Teletoon and
ABC Australia.
I couldn't be more thrilled and excited to start work on this project that I have been developing with
E-One and
Sticky Pictures over the last few years, and share it with you in the 2016 season.
Press release from E-One Family:
LONDON 6th February : Entertainment One Family (eOne Family) is proud to announce that its high energy comedy cartoon series
Winston Steinburger and Sir Dudley Ding Dong,
developed in collaboration with multi-award winning studio Sticky
Pictures have partnered with broadcasters TELETOON Canada and ABC3
Australia to deliver the new 2-D animated series in 2016 .
Olivier Dumont, MD of Entertainment One Family said, “We’re incredibly
excited to be working with Sticky Pictures on what we truly believe to
be a fantastically funny and inventive TV show that will hit the sweet
spot of kids aged 6-12. Securing ABC3 and TELETOON as broadcast partners
at this stage in the production is a clear endorsement of the show’s
potential and we can’t wait to bring it to TV screens across the world!”
The new 52 X 11’ animated show for 6-12 year olds follows the hilarious
hijinks of Winston Steinburger, his feline best friend Sir Dudley and an
uptight alien, Hampton, as they explore the galaxy together in a
homemade space cruiser seeking out fun adventures. The three
astronomical amigos face death on a daily basis, squaring off against
bubbling planets, bad-breathed Space-bandits and the worst nemesis of
all – Pam the Destroyer – a tweenie bopper with a manic personality, an
itchy trigger finger and a mega crush on Winston.
Donna Andrews (CEO & Partner) from independent Australian production
company Sticky Pictures said, “We love Winston Steinburger! It’s fast,
funny and full of cheek. We’ve been delighted by the response so far
from ABC3 and TELETOON and we look forward to working closely with eOne
Family to produce the series.”

high octane scripts are perfect for the ABC3 audience. From the moment
we saw the teaser we knew there was something special about this great
new show. “
ALAN GREGG, Director of Content, TELETOON Canada adds,
“We’re thrilled to partner with eOne Family on this irreverent
fast-paced, comedy action series. TELETOON viewers will fall out of
theirs seats when they finally meet the colourful characters of
